A reference point Condrieu if there ever was one, it will benefit from a year or two in bottle then have a gradual evolution over the following decade. These can unquestionably age for decades, in fact. Nevertheless, I prefer them from a year or two after the vintage and over the following 4-5 years.In Bond€2,150.00 -

From a hot, dry year with harvest on August 26, the 2022 Condrieu Coteau De Vernon is more expressive than the 2023, with exotic honeyed orange, flowers, chalky minerality, and spice. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, focused mouthfeel, wonderfully integrated acidity, and a great finish. This is an elegant, seamless, oh, so impressive Condrieu.

Translucent yellow. Expansive nectarine, poached pear, honey and floral aromas sharpened by a zesty, building mineral flourish. Gently sweet and seamless on the palate, offering densely packed orchard and pit fruit flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows excellent focus and mineral cut on the floral-dominated finish, where a gingery note adds closing spiciness and bite.In Bond€429.00 -

Picked in early September, the 2022 Condrieu les Chaillees de l'Enfer is one of the standouts this year, as is so often the case, unfurling in the glass with aromas of almond blossoms, pear, white peach, chamomile and fresh flowers, giving the sensation of a cold vintage’s aroma profile despite the dry, hot conditions of the year. Full-bodied, dense and rich, it's perfectly balanced with a satiny attack, a broad, fleshy core of fruit and a long, demonstrative and quite elegant finish. It's a terrific effort that transcends the vintage.In Bond€1,125.00 -
